Reader J-J writes in a brilliant trick for getting cat hair off your black pants ten minutes before the big presentation at the office:

Rather than use up strip after strip of scotch tape, or hit the mailroom for packing tape, take one of those FedEx airbill pouches, stick your hand in it like a mitten, pull off the adhesive backing, and voila! giant lint trap. Pat yourself down, and you're good to go in about five seconds. (This also works wonders for getting pet hair off the couch.)
